This guy is selling these rims for $500, they are 19" staggered VSR and the bolt patterns are 5x114.3 the fronts are 19x8.5 and the backs are 19x9.5... Just wanted to make sure they fit before i do anything.

If it fits a G35 I'll fit your car, only thing to be concerned about is the offset, can you try them out before purchase?

I think the G35 uses a +20 offset. You want a +35...

Check these out...

Or these, which are the same ones you were looking at originally...

Does anyone know if a 20x8.5 with a +45mm offset work will work? Do you think the wheels will looked too sucked in?

They will look WAY too sucked in for a 20x8.5+45.

You'll want to put a 20-25mm bolt on spacer to make them flush in the rear, and like a 15mm spacer for the front.

So for 20x8.5 all the way around +35mm offset is as high as you would want to go or else it looks too sucked in right?

Will a +35 even get me flush with the fenders?

Do you have a link with good prices for some spacers like your talking about?

Well, 20x8.5 +35 will be respectable in the front. The rear will not be as aggressive looking. That is just what you will have to deal with if your wheels are not staggered. Other than spacers, you can't go aggressive in the back either since the fronts will then not work.

i have +45 offset in the front and +42 in the rear. It doesnt look sucked in? I trimmed my fender lining also so it doesnt hit yet the front driver side still does and really big bumps at high speeds.
